Photo Competition
It is essential that all photos are taken during a World Chaine Day event. The exact date this year is Saturday, April 26. However, as we have different time zones, it is acknowledged that the photo can be taken at an event during that weekend, i.e. between Friday evening April 25th and all day Sunday 27th.
Social Wall principles are the same as previous years.
Link to social wall will be given about one week before WCD weekend.
It is free to use and share.
Active posting with hashtags: #chaineday, #worldchaineday

This year :
Tastes of the World
This year, we're celebrating the tenth anniversary of the WCD with a theme that will resonate with us all: “tastes of the world”.
It's all about cooking with your heart, your flavors, your origins, whether they're from here or there.
We're talking about “fusion” cuisine, but we're also talking about creating, challenging and daring.
You are an expert in Vietnamese cuisine living in France? Dare a mix & match of several flavors, and send us a photo of the experience.
We've been celebrating this day for 10 years now, and we know that no matter where we are, we're all living a day of culinary passion at the same time.
It's a day to celebrate, with family and friends from the Chaîne and beyond!
